10 Unique Ways To Celebrate Mom
Mother’s Day 2024 is just around the corner and we’re as excited as ever to brainstorm some unique Mother’s day activities!
The moms in our lives deserve the world. No. More than the world… They deserve the universe. And at the very least, they deserve to spend Mothers Day doing something special, fun, and unique to their personality.
We hope the ideas here will spark your enthusiasm for planning the most epic day for mom. And regardless of what your family looks like, this list has Mother’s Day activities for adults and families with children alike.
Breakfast in bed — the oldest Mother’s Day activity in the book
It’s simple and oh so traditional. Let mom sleep in while you make some of her favourites. Need some ideas? Try one of these recipes.
Have a picnic
Everyone loves a good picnic, right? If mom loves the outdoors, this is a great option to enjoy some treats surrounded by nature. Pack all the finger goodies you can think of, a cute blanket and maybe a small flower vase as the centerpiece.
Movies under the stars
Creating a special outdoor movie night for your Mom (or most favourite maternal figure) at home is a thoughtful and creative way to show her how much you appreciate her. What’s better than spending the evening relaxing in front of a big screen, with your favourite snacks, comfortable seating, and a fun, entertaining movie?
Turning an everyday activity into an evening your mom won’t forget is not as hard as it sounds – it just comes down to creativity and organisation. Let scenima take care of the movie set-up, click here to get started.
Take a trip to the farmer’s market.
It’s a lovely place to spend a morning — browsing flowers, munching on farm-fresh snacks and maybe doing a little shopping for the evening’s dinner.
Spa Date
Research a local spa and schedule mom some well deserved me time. If you want to make it a girl’s day — that would work too (and you get a little pampering out of it too). This is a simple activity that requires basic planning — just make a reservation!
Try a new recipe
Have a fun recipe you and mom have been dying to try out? Why not do it together? This only counts as a good idea if mom actually likes to cook and isn’t constantly in the kitchen. This shouldn’t feel like another chore. No matter what, make sure to be the one that does all the prep and clean up.
Start a family garden
Ok so maybe mom doesn’t already have a garden of her own, but you’ve heard her talk about wanting one. This is your chance to help make it happen! Get the whole family involved and spend the day building out a little family garden.
Go bungee jumping
Is mom more adventurous than you’d ever hope to be? This activity will not be the most common, to be sure, but it’s very likely that there are moms out there itching for some heart pumping adventure. Bungee jumping would certainly check those boxes.
Turn mom’s story into a book
Everyone has a life story worth knowing and mom is no exception. Combine arts and crafts with a little research and a whole lot of quality time for a day of helping to re-create mom’s story.
Use old family photos, mom’s own recollections and the internet (full of family history tidbits). Make a sort of life-story-book for (and with) mom. She’ll love getting to re-tell some of her favorite memories and you’ll get to know her even more!
Have a photoshoot
Capture this Mother’s Day with some beautiful photos and make a whole day out of it. Prepare by hitting up a salon (or do the dollying up at home) and getting mom all jazzed up. Mimosas are always a good addition. Hire a local photographer in advance to help capture the fun and loving mom you all know and love. You can make it all about mom if you think she’d love that or turn it into a family photo-esque day.
